U.S. propaganda has no basis in truth or reality.

NBC News: "Multiple U.S. officials acknowledged that the U.S. has used information as a weapon even when confidence in the accuracy of the information wasn’t high. Sometimes it has used low-confidence intelligence for deterrent effect, as with chemical agents," pic.twitter.com/3iG8pxqFMH

The stuff about China providing military help to Russia was also made up.

Of course they try to spin it, but if you actually read, they are admitting most of what they are claiming are lies:
It was an attention-grabbing assertion that made headlines around the world: U.S. officials said they had indications suggesting Russia might be preparing to use chemical agents in Ukraine.
President Joe Biden later said it publicly. But three U.S. officials told NBC News this week there is no evidence Russia has brought any chemical weapons near Ukraine. They said the U.S. released the information to deter Russia from using the banned munitions.
It’s one of a string of examples of the Biden administration’s breaking with recent precedent by deploying declassified intelligence as part of an information war against Russia. The administration has done so even when the intelligence wasn’t rock solid, officials said, to keep Russian President Vladimir Putin off balance. Coordinated by the White House National Security Council, the unprecedented intelligence releases have been so frequent and voluminous, officials said, that intelligence agencies had to devote more staff members to work on the declassification process, scrubbing the information so it wouldn’t betray sources and methods.
They wouldn’t admit this if their lies weren’t becoming exposed already. The Ukraine situation is unraveling a lot faster than the Iraq wmd shitshow. A lot of people are going to be embarrassed and appalled when the full truth comes out.
Ken Dilanian explains that the intelligence community has been lying to the American public – using accomplices in commercial media – as a way of trying to influence officials in Russia and China. Again, American audiences are collateral damage to "information warfare" fad. t.co/0SANnqAlcO
